key O'Neil had discovered the little agent
which had served Lingg to accomplish
his terrible work. II was a small fulmin-

had been filled with illuminate of mercury
and the small fuse which is usually at

been touched off By Lingg at the time the

Lingg's act to-day was in keeping with
his past life. In 1883 he was forced to
leave his native town in Germany. After
& good deal of wandering about Germany
he finally landed in Switzerland. There
he contiDutd to fight the "BIUes," as the
Social Democrats are called by the red
followers of Most. II was then that the
Sozisl Demokrat, the Off ;ial organ Of the
German sociallats. published a notice de-

and soon began the manufacture OF

at the Haymsrket. When two
policemen went to arrest him
the next day one entered his room while
the other remained outside. The latter
soon heard shout for help, and running
into Lingg's room, found that he had
thrown his partner on the floor, and was
only prevented from shooting him by the
policeman, who had a grip on the pistol
which Lingg was trying to use. The two
officers, after & desperate struggle, sue

around the jail now that Llngg had sll

own Ifs in some tr&gic manner,
it is clso believed that for some reason or
other he committed the act sooner than
be ct first intended. Tuesday when Cap

called him TO the grating opposite his

Yesterday when Mrs. Engel was in the

into the Jail office. AS eht

to the bars and called out:
